Despite the criticism surrounding this practice, Davis defended it as a necessary protection for the token&#8217;s price stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Davis also acknowledged an insider deal with Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, who reportedly received a $5 million refund after losing money in the LIBRA token launch.
